Ps 121:1-8 "Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." The Lord, your guardian, is beside you.

2 Tm 3:14-4:2 Remain faithful to what you learned/believed. Scripture is God-inspired, gives wisdom for salvation, useful for teaching, refutation, training, equipping for good work. Proclaim the word: patiently teach/encourage even when inconvenient.

Creighton: When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth? Why should we pray?

Audience of Pope Francis to arts patrons: Art expresses the beauty of faith, bears witness to the mysteries of Christian faith and the quest of beauty which comes from and is fulfilled in God, and proclaims the grandeur of God’s creation, the dignity of human beings made in God's image, and the power of Christ’s death and resurrection to bring rebirth.
